George W. Bush: "Dick Cheney Can Be President!"

[Beloved Citizen]

Earth to Shrub: Dick Cheney IS president.

Is this a moment of classic Shrub idiocy or what?

He was just stating he's seen Dick Cheney be President

and therfore he knows it's true

1. "President Cheney" -- the thought of it probably loses votes for them. n/t

.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

2. He is. eom

[fertilizeonarbusto]

3. He is and that's one big reason

they're both going down in flames.

[Newkophile]

4. If you don't think Cheney is already President,

then you don't know Dick!

(excuse this old joke, but it's still quite appropriate)

[Claire Beth]

6. ditto! n/t

5. The Shrub is criticizing Edwards for blocking judge nominees

I say, "Way to go - keep blocking those morans that Shrub nominates!"

Too bad the neanderthal from Louisiana slipped through yesterday. Yep, those are real American values, uh-huh.

[LTR]

7. Something interesting in this: AWOL mentioned his competition!

This is the first time I recall Bush directly acknowledging the Democratic ticket. I've never heard of him even mentioning Kerry, usually leaving it to his underlings or his website. But never when speaking directly.

He must be getting rattled.

Good.

8. I'll be having nightmares now!

Cheney as President? The thought is enough to keep me awake at night in sheer terror.

[kentuck]

9. OK..Sit down and let me explain this to you Dubya.....

It is the president that has to be ready to be the president. He is the one that needs the experience moreso than the VP. You did not have as much experience as John Edwards. So what in the hell are you talking about? Are you really that confused? Or are you just trying to pull more of your bullshit?

[bingoboingo]

10. Classic!

And scary as well.

[newyawker99]

15. Hi bingoboingo!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[merh]

11. So he has finally come clean and admitted the obvious.

(and like I really care what he thinks any way)

[Bluebear]

12. And didn't he snap that with venom and 'pessimism'?

Unhinged.

[No Mandate Here.]

13. Another parallel thread,

with a slightly different slant. ...Commenting upon sanity, Caligulia, and banishment...

14. Theoretically, he can be. Ability wise, he cannot be. He's already

proven that.

[Grins]

16. Why does he hate his dad?

What is he saying about his dad who picked Dan Quayle for God's sake!

Why does his dad hate America?

[Norquist Nemesis]

17. Well, Duh!

The Supreme Court allowed that to happen the day they selected YOU! Jackass! :eyes:

[uncle ray]

18. what if

by some stroke of luck, * is the man going down in the Plame indictments, so now they start floating President Cheny? what if * crashes and burns, and for some reason Cheney seems to escape unscathed, and actually win the presidency, based on war on terra bullshit. there's a whole other world of ugliness we haven't thought of.

[tavalon]

19. Well

I don't much like the last part of your idea, but the first part is sweet.

21. Cheney at the top of the GOP ticket?

I'm trying to think of a more unpopular candidate. Hmmm, let's see... Ken Lay perhaps? No, he hasn't stolen half as much as Halliburton boy. Saddam Hussein? Can't, he's not a citizen and has an arrest record. Ming the Merciless? C'mon, he's been dead for over 2,000 years.

Nope, right now old fat pants would have to be considered the most unelectable human being on the face of the planet. And let's face it, without his folksy faux-Texan phony everyman cowpoke to do his campaigning for him, Cheney is a sitting duck.

[uncle ray]

25. why not?

to the freeper types he and * are doing a wonderful job keeping terrorisim in check! if they realize he's been running the show anyway, why the cheney not? of course it would either be the biggest democratic landslide in history, or the worst stolen election in history. stranger things have happened.

20. HELP!! anyone remember misanthrope, the fired radio announcer??

dear all,

sorry, that i am crashing the thread but apparently i haven't posted enough yet to open a thread on my own.

a couple of weeks ago i stumbled over the case of a radio
announcer. he was a poster on DU and, apparently, got fired for reasons related to his activity. some of you might remember the story.

i was wondering whether anyone of you found got the real name of this poster who was posting under the nick 'misanthrope'. maybe he himself is still here under a different nick?

as far as I am aware, the person in question was planned to be on duty the friday former president Ronald Reagan was buried. before that day, the announcer in question posted on DU that he had
been instructed to program a "reflective, respectful piece by an American composer" into each hour of our programming on that friday (his shift was from 10-12). he eventually drew up a rather ironic playlist for that day of 'national observance'. however, he never played it because he got fired on
thursday the 10th of June, i.e. one day before. the freeper had read misanthrope's posting, puzzled the relevant info together, found out the station misanthrope was working for and informed the manager.

from what i read, the station had been informed about the announcer’s
posting activities by a poster from freerepublic.com and decided to fire him because of these activities.

maybe there is a legal case pending and misanthrope has decided not to post here anymore for a while. if that would be the case,
i'd fully understand that he did't think it's wise to comment on the
issue publicly. however, i would very appreciate if anyone of you could simply confirm the real name of the announcer.


why am i looking for him? well, i am freelance journalist who writes occassionally for the online edition of one germany's biggest magazines.
the magazine in question already had some unpleasant experience with freepers some months ago. they 'freeped' a poll asking for an assessment of president's bush performance
thus far (amazingly, one of them checked a German website and was able to read it!). well, they were found out and got ridiculed in an article for that.

i'd like to write a kind of follow-up story about them - i have all the info available except the real name of misanthrope.

to make that clear: I WOULD NOT REVEAL HIS NAME IN THE ARTICLE. however, i need his name as a corroboration for the editor when i try to get the article published.

after two mails by me, misanthrope's station manager has answered that he won't discuss staff matters publicly. that means the story is true. so there. the station is WHIL in Mobile, Alabama and the announcer i am looking for would have had duty on friday from 10 to 12.

is there anyone who could help me? I ABSOLUTELY GUARENTEE ANONYMITY. and, provided i get the article published, freerepublic would get a decent smacking in one of germany's most reputable news mags.

so please click on my icon and mail me.

thanks

24. You might get a better response if you posted a new thread in the

General Discussion forum.

Then again, maybe not.

[Fla Dem]

22. Kerry's response at a rally yesterday.....

That's what bothers us. He took over as president day one and he still is.

[Kazak]

23. Very easy to counter...

John Edwards can be President...next.
